Production information

Producer: Bodegas Tomas Cusine

In Spain’s Costers del Segre, Tomas Cusine has worked for years with his family’s iconic estate Castell del Remei, an estate very much responsible for driving international interest in Catalan wines over the last 20 years. However, Tomas left the family business in 2002, setting up his very own winery where he crafts incredibly fresh wines by using a variety of grape varieties and mixing up early picked fruit with riper, fruitier berries harvested later in the year.

Production note

Vines are from 9 to 35 year old, supported by vase and trellis, in a calcareous and franc-clay soil at an altitude in between 560 to 750 m. Hand harvested and cooled in cold-storage rooms before going through the selection table. Fermentation takes place at a temperature of 22-26°C. There is a short skin soaking and a nine-month ageing in French oak barrels.

The mornings (and evenings) are darker, the trees are bare and pavements full of leaves. There’s one month of autumn left before we head into the joy (and craziness) of the festive season, so we round up four of our favourite autumnal wines – from New World Pinot to classic Barbera.

Scorching temperatures accompanied a drought that had the reservoirs half full ...

Rosé is too often dismissed as just a bit of fun. But there’s a whole lot of serious pink wine out there that deserves your attention. From pale salmon to nearly-red we take a look at the full spectrum of pinks and what to eat with them.

The arrival of March means we can finally bid farewell to winter and welcome the longer daylight hours, slightly warmer weather and bright yellow daffodils. With this change in season, we asked members of the team to tell us which Bibendum wines they’ll be sipping this spring. Cheers!

On the whole 2015 was a good year for Spain. The summer heat was offset by September rains, which lead to incredibly well-developed fruit. It was a year for both white and red grapes to perform, despite the early heat.

Tomas Cusine worked for many years at his family’s iconic estate Castell del Remei – however, in 2003 he decided to forge his own way, setting up his very own eponymous winery in Spain’s Costers del Segre.

It’s time to reflect on the year that was and look ahead to what the New Year might have in store for the UK On Trade. Our customers, sales teams and award-winning market insights team picked eight top wine trends to look out for in 2018.

The 2017 harvest was challenging to say the least – from the Californian wild fires, to frosts and heatwaves across most of Europe. Volumes are generally down in most parts and although this is expected to lead to increased prices in certain areas, we can expect good quality wines from the 2017 vintage.

Fiasco bottles, over-oaked styles and diluted flavours are just some of the hallmarks of the wines of years gone by. Their popularity and exotic nature outweighed the need for quality. But a new era has dawned for classic British favourites like Claret, Chianti, Rioja and Soave.
